6 - The Canadian Champion, Tuesday, June 13, 2000 -I O E G T B R J E *COMMENT BUT TO PRASEHM Who will guarantee no harm to citizens? As Maplehurst Correctional Centre slowly turnis into a super jail, the safety of local residents must be paramnount. That means a second look has to be taken at the current inmnate à release pohicy. Currently, jail employees escort prisoners who have duly served àx their sentence onto a bus, where they're driven out of town. But no such policy is in place for remnanded prisoners -- those released on bail while awaiting court proceedings. What's more, it doesn't seem as though putting a policy in place for those inates is feasible -- not now, and not when the jail expands. That's bad news for residents, as the majority of inmnates in the mega jail will be on remnand. And at least somne of themn will be released back into society through bail. So, the Province decides to plunk a super jail here, one of only three in Ontario. Which of them will now step up to the plate and guarantee no h IIFIAL AIn1 will corne to Milton residents fromn either of these decisions? ~ OUR READERS WRITE àe Town »ffltmand na copywasflited At the ent'of cadis year, couticil wilh d C&unîom) houldwrite a cholque to each tàtipayer *erFu«n rcpni~ang the extra tax they patd due Mliffim of dollarsamcnow flowing in to casino revenue.

Teachers and their unions have worked bard to use our goverfi- ment's power to, force their educa- tional principles on our children. Unions rey on anti-scab labour laws so that strikes are more effec- tive. . Because employers will be prou- ecuted if they hire scabs, they will acquieace more readily to union demanda. The agreements these unions obtain are coerced. Box 248, 191 Main St. E., Theé Candie.

Mr. Charbonneau doesn't like to have nights taken away. He says, 'Voles sziyone really think teachers wii be able to perfonn... when they have no rights (sic) to make per- sonal decision (sic)..." The present government la lesa socialist (tending to favour the workers) and more fascisE, so teachers are horrified to find they'oe on the receiving end of the very force they believed they had a right tor use. The teacher unions snared in this contradiction, feat that their ment- bers wiII be forced to do volunteer work. At some level, they know that forced volunteers are juat slaves. Mr. Bero plainly reveals this understandîng when he ska that he - "fot be enslaved to my achool 24 hours a day." lE didn't matter to teachers if the slaves were employers forced flot to bore scabs, or students forced to do 'volunteer' work tor complete their diploma, so long as teachers were not forced to do extra-cumrcu- lai activities. When any union member sup- ports collective coercive bargaining they secretly hope to get something they cannot get by honest negotia- tion. They want tor have their cake and est. it Eoo, regardie'sa of who pays. Bill 74 la certainly wrong, but now teachers are getEing 'their own' back, Education la about training the young to use their minds properly in whatever field they may choose. People who want to establish their contracta by coerced agreement, and who think forced volunteerism is okay for arudents but flot for them, should flot be allowed to teach our kids.
